Thought-provoking, witty and entertaining, this action-packed blend of science fiction and police drama finds Los Angeles the new home of 300,000 humanoid extra-terrestrials.

When a gang of these Newcomers kills a police detective’s (James Caan) partner, he sets out to solve the crime with his new partner (Mandy Patinkin) the L.A.P.D.’s first Newcomer detective. But the unlikely pair soon uncover a far more dangerous threat to society.
